Yes, there are still static web-sites. A long time ago, they were uploaded over FTP. Now many use more secure protocols.
So here are some links and notes to allow this on a Linux based host running OpenSSH.
I got to the above via these two links:
An alternative might be web-dave, but that would probably mean some hassle to separate uploading the site from accessing the site.

A nice article [Archive.is] What is thread safety anyway? with a kind reference to the Deadlock Empire translation from C# to Delphi that I made.
